완전 새로운 경험~!!
한국에선 경험할 수 없는 새로운 경험이고, 신기하다! 일찍 빨리 예약해서 300불 때로 예약하세요! 400불때는 좀 비싼거 같아요 하지만 값어치 있습니다! 옷이랑 신발 양말 장갑까지 다 빌려주니 좋고 정말 좋았어요!!
From Helicopter Line - Franz Josef Glacier HELI HIKE (Ex Franz Josef)
Hi there, Thank you for leaving us a review. We do recommend booking the Heli Hike as soon as you know you wish to participate as it does sell out extremely fast. We provide all the waterproof layers, hiking boots and crampons, gloves and socks. Guests need to wear 2-3 warm layers on the upper body, lightweight trousers or shorts (no jeans). They can bring their own gloves but we also have these in case guests do not have these. Thank you again for your review, Kind Regards, The West Coast Team

Awesome
Awesome! We did abit of research as to which glacier (Fox/Franz) was better & which tour. I’m pretty sure we did the best one, as we were able to walk on the Glacier. Our guide (Canadian Mike?) was super friendly & made our whole experience unreal. Everything was provided. A short 5-10 minute helicopter ride, then we were on the glacier. Definitely recommend the heli hike to anyone who is unsure.

Franz Josef HELI HIKE
General speaking it was ok. However, the reception was not a professional staff. When I said I came from Taiwan, she tried to gave me Tail language manual. She don't know Taiwan and Thailand are different countries. Further more, I was speak English with her, but she use goodle translate to translate English to Chinese to talk to me. OMG, I never meet such unprofessional staff and feel very unrespectful by her serviced.

다시 한 번 경험하고 싶은 경험.
일단 100키로그램 넘는 돼지로써 체력적으로 부족할까 걱정했는데 중간중간 가이드분이 길을 직접 만들기 때문에 대기시간이 충분히 길어서 땀한방울 안흘렸다. 빙하가 점점 작아지고 있다는데 안타까우면서 환경문제에 대한 생각이 머리에 각인이 되는 멋진 경험이였음.
